More housing was built in Montgomery County last year than at any time in the last 15 years.
That's according to the annual analysis published by the Montgomery County Planning Commission.
All total, more than 2,900 new housing units were constructed in 2019, representing a $356 million addition to the county tax base.
And multi-family units continue to be the major driver. Last year is the second consecutive year in which nearly 1,500 new multi-family housing units were constructed.
"The densest housing types, attached and multifamily, accounted for 78 percent of all units built in the county in 2019," according to the report.
Also on the rise is the construction of age-restricted housing, 66 percent of which was single-family detached.
In fact, for the first time in three years, the market saw an increase in single-family detached homes being built, according to the planning commission analysis.
